The Generalist Medicine - GeM - Podcast Aaron Rothstein

I'm here with Dr. Blake MacKay to discuss the basics of ultrasound. Blake is a generalist with a strong interest in ultrasound and training through CPoCUS.  We discuss ultrasound basics including an array of clinical uses which can help guide management. Motivates me to do more ultrasound!

This is a discussion on the resurgent topic of Psychedelic Medicine. I talk with Dr. Ryan Patchett-Marble, a generalist physician with strong interest in addictions and mindfulness who has recently become interested in this emerging field.

Let's talk about the hot topic of fever! We'll talk about why we get fevers, whether we should treat them, and different causes of fever including forms of hyperthermia. We'll also touch on special populations such as febrile neutropenia and febrile infants.

I am very excited to discuss Interventional Cardiology with my cousin Eric Rothstein who works at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Centre in New Hampshire. We discuss the field of Interventional as well as some STEMI/Acute Coronary Syndrome insights, with a bit on stable ischemic heart disease and mechanical circulatory support.

I speak to Dr. Larry Willms about a very fundamental topic that doesn't get much discussion in medical learning - Food and Nutrition. We discuss the things that are well-established consensus in the field, why we get so confounded by nutrition research and fads, how to communicate the information to patients as well as some thoughts and ideas we have on the subject!
 

I am joined by Dr. Josh Smith, an EM registrar in Dunedin, New Zealand, who discusses with me a basic approach to patients in the ER. 
We talk about key principles including that patients often require early treatment before we have much information, that a disposition is often more important than a definitive diagnosis and that we should be considering life threatening diagnoses early in our assessment. We also touch on identifying sick patients, how patient scenarios can evolve, and ways to deal with uncertainty in medicine.
